Definitions
- the present invention refers to a system for assembling washing machines for vehicles in a safe way.
- the system of the invention uses an assembling system comprising a structure with hinged elements that are secured by fixing the structure.
- This system firstly, does not incur additional costs compared to the current systems for assembling washing machines for vehicles, and secondly, it can be implemented on washing machines of any size, making the system useful both for machines used for washing utility vehicles as well as for industrial vehicles.
- the machines used for washing industrial vehicles have very large structures that are transported in separate pieces and assembled at the washing facilities.
- the assembling methods currently used for assembling the structure of the washing machine consist of assembling the machine parts at the place where it will be operated by using means for lifting said parts, such as a tow truck or a forklift truck.
- This assembling system has the drawback that the operators in charge of assembling the machine have to secure the assembled parts by means of fixing bolts when they are in lifted positions, which entails a risk.
- the patent document WO2008031674A1 discloses an assembling system for washing machines for vehicles describing an assembling system in which the washing machine is assembled horizontally and is later lifted by means of a forklift truck. This document discloses the preamble of claim 1. This system is useful for car wash machines of a much smaller size than the gantries used for industrial vehicles. The difference with the system provided is that, in said case, the machine is assembled in a horizontal position and then turned to its working position, which makes the operation of lifting the gantry entail some risks.
- the operation involved in lifting the washing gantry prevents the dimensions of the machine from being too large, not only due to the machinery needed to lift the structure but also because of the increased risk of the structure toppling to the ground, putting in danger both the structure and the safety of the workers.
- Document DE102004053357 discloses a gantry for washing vehicles that is transported folded in a trailer and is unfolded at the place where the washing gantry is set up.
- the structure can pivot around its joints by means of hydraulic actuators in order to be erected vertically. It is designed so that the washing gantry can be removed when the washing operations are completed, making it a portable structure that can be easily disassembled.
- This invention has the drawback of the large investment made on the hydraulic system for assembling and disassembling the structure, which would not be necessary for those facilities that are intended to remain fixed, so that the expenditure would be excessive when they are used only once.
- the present invention addresses the aforementioned problems by disclosing a system for assembling washing machines that simplifies the operation of lifting the structure by means of a fixing system that does not incur additional costs and that is not affected by the size of the machine, since it is perfectly valid for washing machines for both industrial and utility vehicles, also being able to make the installation using a forklift truck.
- the present invention describes a system for safely assembling washing machines for vehicles comprised of a structure in the shape of a gantry, which is comprised of a crossbar and a series of pillars connected to the crossbar.
- the present invention is carried out by placing the crossbar and the pillars comprising the structure of the machine on the ground at the place of assembly.
- the system comprises hinged joining means in order to connect the pillars of the structure to the crossbar.
- the process of connecting the hinges takes place while the components are still on the ground.
- the structure is lifted by means of a forklift truck lifting the crossbar.
- the pillars rotate on the hinged means around the crossbar, gradually losing their initial horizontal position.
- a series of fixing means secure each pillar to the crossbar.
- the fixed position can be released by accessing the free end of the gusset plate through a window located near the opening.
- the present invention refers to a system for safely assembling washing machines for vehicles.
- the washing machine is comprised of a structure in the shape of a gantry comprising a crossbar (1) and a series of pillars (2).
- One of the embodiments of the invention comprises a crossbar (1) on which two pairs of pillars (2) are fixed, each one on each end of the crossbar (1).
- the pillars (2) are fixed to the crossbar (1) by means of hinged joining means that allow the pillars (2) to rotate around the crossbar (1) until they reach a final position in which a series of fixing systems operate. In this way, the pillars (2) are definitely secured to the crossbar (1), with the gantry achieving a stable final position.
- Figures 1 and 2 show two embodiments of the present invention, depending on the pillars (2) being arranged parallel or perpendicular to the crossbar (1).
- Figure 1 shows the process of installing a washing machine in the first embodiment in which the pillars (2) are initially placed parallel to the crossbar (1). Additionally, in this embodiment each pair of pillars (2) can be joined at the free ends, with each pair of pillars adopting a "U" shaped configuration that provides better stability to the structure.
- Figure 1 a shows the material piled up, just in the way it is transported in order to assemble a washing machine.
- Figure 1b shows how the crossbar (1) of the structure is placed and joined in parallel to the pillars (2) comprising the gantry by means of hinges, which are not represented in the drawings.
- the cleaning cylinders are set aside to be installed later once the structure of the washing machine has been erected.
- Figures 1c to 1e show the different positions adopted by the gantry comprising the washing machine as it is lifted by a forklift truck to its final position in which the fixing systems operate, and the washing machine is secured in a stable position.
- Figures 1f and 1g show the forklift truck transporting the washing machine to its final position.
- Figure 1h shows the washing machine already installed in its final position, incorporating the cleaning cylinders.
- Figure 2 shows the process of assembling a washing machine in a second embodiment in which the pillars (2) are initially placed perpendicular to the crossbar (1).
- Figure 2a shows the material piled up, just in the way it is transported in order to assemble a washing machine, just as in figure 1 a.
- Figure 2b shows the position of the crossbar (1) of the structure perpendicularly joined to the pillars (2) comprising the gantry by means of hinges.
- the pillars are placed on the rails on which the washing machine will move.
- the cleaning cylinders are also set aside in order to be installed later on.
- Figures 2c to 2e show the same situations as figures 1c to 1e , with the washing machine in the different positions as it is lifted by a forklift truck to its final position in which the fixing systems operate, and the washing machine is secured in a stable position.
- Figures 2f and 2g show the forklift truck transporting the washing machine to its final position, just as figures 1f and 1g .
- figure 2h shows the washing machine already installed in its final position, just as figure 1 h.
- one of the elements comprising the assembling system are hinged joining means in order to connect the pillars (2) to the crossbar (1).
- the pillars (2) move from the horizontal position resting on the ground to the vertical position, ending in an orthogonal position in relation to the crossbar (1) and creating a characteristic gantry structure once the fixing systems come into operation to connect the pillars (2) to the crossbar (1).
- This movement of the pillars (2) is caused by the force of gravity, without having to use any support mechanism.
- the final position of the pillars (2) may not be orthogonal to the crossbar and they may not end in a vertical position, but with a certain slope.
- Each of the fixing systems used in the invention to keep the gantry comprising the washing machine in a rigid and stable structure is comprised of a male-female system comprising a male component that is housed in a female component.
- the male and female components are located on the respective pieces of the structure that need to be secured, that is, the crossbar (1) on the one hand, and the pillars (2) on the other.
- the male components are located on the crossbar (1) and the female components are located on each of the pillars (2), with other possible configurations placing the male components on the pillars (2) and the female components on the crossbar (1), or even combinations thereof, including male and female components on the crossbar (1).
- FIG. 3 shows the fixing system used in the invention in operation.
- the pillars (2) are comprised of flat plates joined together in order to give the pillars (2) a hollow prism configuration.
- the male component of the fixing system comprises a rectangular gusset plate (3) that is fixed on the crossbar (1) on a fixing point (4) by means of a screw, a pin or a similar element, so that it can rotate around it.
- the gusset plate (3) protrudes at a determined length over the crossbar (1), which will be in charge of fixing it to the pillar (2).
- One of the protruding corners of the gusset plate (3) has a curved configuration.
- a slot (7) configured to house an element of the pillar (2) being fixed.
- this element housed in the slot (7) is one of the plates comprising the pillar (2).
- the gusset plate (3) remains in a stable position, resting on a protrusion (5) of the crossbar (1). This position is held by force by means of a spring (6) joining the crossbar (1) to the gusset plate (3).
- the plate comprising the side of the pillar closer to the crossbar (1) has a rectangular opening (8) comprising the female component of the fixing system.
- the opening (8) is aligned transversally with the gusset plate (3) so that during the rotational movement of the pillar (2) toward the crossbar (1), the gusset plate (3) fits in the opening (8).
- the opening (8) is aligned with the gusset plate (3) at a height, so that in the final fixing position, the edge of the opening that is furthest away from the hinge slides a certain length inside the slot (7) in order to prevent the pillar from rotating (2) in relation to the crossbar (1).
- this edge makes contact with the end of the slot at the limit position.
- the fixing system can only be released intentionally by operating the gusset plate (3), so that the gusset plate (3) is lifted in order to release the pillar (2) from the slot (7).
- a window (9) located by the opening (8) provides access to the free end of the gusset plate (3) so that it can be lifted in order to dislodge the slot (7) from the pillar (2).
